We learned more from a three minute record than we ever learned in school…Bruce Springsteen – No Surrender

Bootleg Thursday – Van Morrison 4-26-70 – Fillmore West

I know I’ve been neglecting the blog lately. That’s mostly due to writing for Big Wheel, but also real work & just plain laziness. So to make up for it I thought I’d share with you a favorite concert of mine. Van Morrison live at the Fillmore West in San Francisco, CA, 4-26-1970. Van Morrison has long been a favorite of mine. I actually prefer Van Morrison to Jim Morrison. His Irish brogue not withstanding,I’ve just always been of the opinion that his body of work is better. I know it’s rare to compare vastly different artists, but in this obscure case I find myself strongly in favor of Van’s form of blues rock compared to Jim’s psychedelia. Enjoy, it’s amazing.
